Hanging on

I have always had a problem letting go of things. I feel like if I have invested in something, I don't want to not see it blossom into its full potential.

There are things, or people in life that will never reach their full potential because they make the decision to stop growing.

You can water their foundation, give them the best soil, make sure they get enough sunlight, even talk or sing to them to encourage their growth and help them realize their full worth and potential.

But I guess I am learning, even if you do all these things, the object you are trying to help grow will only grow if it wants too. If it digs its roots down into what you have provided and sees their own potential.

I guess I hang on, because I want to be there for the beginning to the end of the process. If I am in a growing process with you, its fair to say I will want to be there with you until the end. When I invest in someone, I want to see my investment grow. I have hung on because I want to see you grow into what I know you can be. but, I have to realize its not my fault if you can't see your own potential. And if you limit yourself in life.

I was a fool for you right from the start, yeahI was a fool for you hoping for a sparkFor some kind of sign that you would be mine

I know it's wrong, I do, hanging on too longAnd I know it's wrong, hanging on too long

My heart was clutching to one fair rightMy head was pumping, it could put up a fightI know it's wrong, hanging on too longAnd I know it's wrong, hanging on too longAnd I need to move on, I'm hanging on too long

I know it's wrong, hanging on too longAnd I know it's wrong, hanging on too long
